What Are We Missing?

Many people miss out on great opportunities because they simply won't take the time to stop and pay attention.  Many network marketers are so busy working hard at not succeeding that that they don't even see the irony of their situations.  Often times they are so wrapped up in promoting their business opportunity that common sense and logic go out of the window.  Does it not make sense to at least take a look at a business paying 100% commissions when you are only currently receiving 1%, 5%, 10%, 40% or something else that is not 100%?  Of course it does, and you owe it to yourself to at least take a look at the Empower Network by visiting http://www.antoniomooreempowernet.com.  The Empower Network is not a network marketing company and, in fact, the training you receive will teach you how to leverage the exposure and money you make as part of the Empower Network into building your primary network marketing business!  If you have visited the site and it's not for you, that's one thing; but don't miss out simply because you didn't stop and take a look! http://www.antoniomooreempowernet.com.

The following is a true story from the Washington Post (http://wpo.st/-vP).  I would love to hear your thoughts and comments! Video will be posted at http://www.ibosocial.com/asmoore/videos.aspx.

What Are We Missing?

Washington DC, Metro Station, on a cold January morning in 2007.

The man with a violin played six Bach pieces for about 45 minutes. During that time approximately 2 thousand people went through the station, most of them on their way to work.

After 3 minutes a middle aged man noticed there was a musician playing. He slowed his pace and stopped for a few seconds and then hurried to meet his schedule.

4 minutes later:
The violinist received his first dollar. A woman threw the money in the hat and, without stopping, continued to walk.

6 minutes:
A young man leaned against the wall to listen to him, then looked at his watch and started to walk again.

10 minutes:
A 3-year old boy stopped but his mother tugged him along hurriedly. The kid stopped to look at the violinist again, but the mother pushed hard and the child continued to walk, turning his head all the time. This action was repeated by several other children. Every parent, without exception, forced their children to move on quickly.

45 minutes:
The musician played continuously. Only 6 people stopped and listened for a short while. About 20 gave money, but continued to walk at their normal pace. The man collected a total of $32.

1 hour:
He finished playing and silence took over. No one noticed. No one applauded, nor was there any recognition.

No one knew this, but the violinist was Joshua Bell, one of the greatest musicians in the world. He played one of the most intricate pieces ever written, with a violin worth $3.5 million dollars.

Two days before, Joshua Bell sold out a theater in Boston where the seats averaged $100 each.

Joshua Bell playing incognito in the Metro Station was organized by the Washington Post as part of a social experiment about perception, taste and people's priorities.

The questions raised: In a common place environment at an inappropriate hour, do we perceive beauty? Do we stop to appreciate it? Do we recognize talent in an unexpected context?

One possible conclusion reached from this experiment could be this:
If we do not have a moment to stop and listen to one of the best musicians in the world, playing some of the finest music ever written, with one of the most beautiful instruments ever made...

How many other things are we missing?
